Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

Yes

“We will vote YES. This proposal takes meaningful steps toward a fairer and more secure Asterhaven — strengthening support for veterans, giving families greater security, protecting people from falling through the cracks, and reinforcing the separation of religion and state. We would have approached some provisions differently and believe implementation must be practical and fiscally sustainable. But politics cannot become an exercise in rejecting progress because it is imperfect. On balance, this package moves the country forward.”

Radical Action
Voted May 31, 2024
Yes

“We support this. We stand in question of the last article, yet understand the benefits of removing employer pressure on workers to keep them at work.”
